early mornings and late afternoons. However, the retail use (hardware store) would experience peak

parking demand during the middle of the day and on weekends.

On this basis, the proposed provision is considered is sufficient to accommodate the anticipated peak

parking demand.

3.3.3 Design

The layout and provision of on-site car parking is generally consistent with the requirements of
Australian Standard AS2890.1:2004 Parking Facilities Part 1: “Off-Street Car Parking” in terms of bay

dimensions, aisle widths, vehicle circulation and manoeuvring. This is typified by:

== 2.6m x 5.4m vehicle parking spaces

== 1.2m x 2.5m motorcycle parking spaces

== appropriately dimensioned PWD spaces with adjacent shared space
=

parking aisles of 6.2m wide or greater

3.3.4 Impact on On-Street Parking

The development proposal will result in the loss of two on-street car parking bays along the Eumundi
Road frontage. Subject to input from Noosa Council, the proposed access arrangements would provide

scope to retain four on-street bays between the site entry and exit driveways

3.4 Queuing

It is estimated that the site would be able to accommodate at least 16 vehicles waiting in queue to fill up
with fuel (not including those parked at the pumps).We estimate that there is also queuing provision for
three vehicles to wait between the site boundary and the first internal conflict point associated with the

parking area adjacent to the retail (hardware) / industrial uses.

This queuing provision is considered appropriate for the number of on-site parking spaces (ie 64 spaces)

and fuel pump berths, and complies with the Australian Standard AS2890.1.

3.5 Servicing

An on-site loading / refuse collection area is proposed for the service station and restaurant / cafe uses.
The Noosa Plan does not specify a design vehicle for this type and size of development. However, this
service area could accommodate a 12.5m heavy rigid vehicle (HRV) without obstructing the operation of
the fuel court. This loading area is in addition to on-site provisions for fuel deliveries. The swept path of a

petrol tanker accessing and egressing the site is presented in Figure 3.1 and is also attached to this report.

The largest vehicle type expected to serve the retail (hardware) / industrial uses would be a heavy rigid

vehicle (HRV). Recessed loading areas are proposed for each unit capable of accommodating an HRV.
